Either you're stuck inside, having no idea what to do, or you leave the house and again, have nothing to do. We've all been faced with them (especially this year) - rainy days.

But rainy days don't always have to be miserable and just, bleh. Here are 8 things you can do to make your rainy days fun, productive, and a lot less bleh.

1. Try something new.

Learn to knit, try a new recipe, read that book that's been sitting on your desk! Push yourself to do something new and exciting rather than sitting around waiting for the storm to pass.

2. Get work done.

Finish that essay you've been putting off, do some homework, or even write your Odyssey article...

3. Release your inner child.


Go jump in puddles, play some video games, or make a blanket fort! Let your inner child go crazy!

4. Have a movie marathon.

Have some friends come over, pop some popcorn, and pop in your favorite movies!

5. Have a spa day.

Throw in a bath bomb, put on a face mask, and just relax! You deserve it.

6. Catch up on sleep.

On a nice day, it's hard to convince yourself (and others) that it's okay to sleep the day away. But, when it's gross and dark outside, you can definitely catch up on some Zzzz's.

7. Go shopping.

Rather than sitting home being bored, do some retail therapy mourning the bad weather. Throw on some comfy clothes and head to the mall! All the stores you could possibly want (and you don't have to go outside in the rain in between stores)!

8. Clean your house.

Organize your desk, finally sweep the floor, or dust the top of your dresser. If you're going to sit around the house anyway, might as well get some chores done!

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
